I think Ted is going down to 90p-£1 due to this variant but I also think next spring good things will happen so its becoming a great time to buy.
Huge increases in Internet activity over the last few months.

Hoping for a very good update after Xmas.
Very sad news.Unfortunately these things happen and the company has responded well.However with this sad event I am sure it will bring a takeover bid sooner than later as a third party will deem it the right time to strike
For Info: visited Tunbridge Wells Fenwicks outlet again yesterday. The last time I visited I was most disappointed but this time it was totally different!. Fully stocked with great range of clothes and good quality, only a few items discounted. Bought a shirt to support my investment :-)
Let's just look back at the new article from April this year...

I like this bit:
Furthermore, Ted is currently only worth £213 million despite having similar sales to Dr Martens, valued at £4.5 billion
Over the next few days. Next must be watching this and rubbing their hands.
Yes forever I was very impressed by the recent collection of mens clothing lines.
They also appeal to the masses in terms of more reasonable pricing and the understated look.
It was tad wacky with its of flowers and patterns 3-5 years ago, now it’s stuff you can wear for all occasions and not just at a beach bar.
I hope not ade the rejuvenation is what we want as we could see a 5 bagger very very quickly.
A takeout could be at the £2 level.
This is cheap for a reason, because they are getting brought out at some point.
Only just sitting above 200m gbp market cap. Peanuts.
Once management have established themselves and proven they have a turnaround story this could go anywhere.
SP down but firm trading today

Black Friday discounting. Glad to hear your positive experience :-)
I went to their Westfield store at the weekend. The manager said they had been busy all weekend and didn't have a break from the tills.
I ended buying the misses a jacket. 350gbp but had 40% off. I was suprised by the discount as I thought they were not relying on discounting so much.
Range of styles and clothes we're still very good imo
Having exited at 1.40. This due a rerate as it’s fallen too far
The existing team at Ted is reversing its fortunes… added as a long term buy… good entry levels, I feel
I just looked at their website while deciding to buy any TED. Their red ball face animated black Friday background looks atrocious, and all of their clothes seem to not fit their excessively skinny male models. They're definitely going for a specific type of person, one I'd rather avoid, with that type of clothing.
I couldn't see anything that I would buy, clothes wise. Not sure about picking any shares up now in hope for a recovery, the financials look pretty dire.
Did I imagine this, or did Ted say part of their new strategy will be, not to discount?
Cannot again understand the drop in price.Their figures were very good although poorly presented due I think to their reporting dates.Like M&S they are now even more undervalued than M&S and I am sure that we will wake up one morning to find out they are being taken over,my only concern is that the price will be too low
Think the issues are very deep here. The aggression of the Black Friday markdowns suggest that the new design direction has not resonated with the core Ted Baker customer. Just my humble opinion.
Going to buy more next week and hopefully be rewarded when divedends restart in near future..
Yep- just hold and long term is positive- and a takeover could drop at any point
It's COVID and the fear Europe will engulf the UK with their 4th wave
Retail sales are up and Clothing is just below it's pre-COVID level, so the historic retail news is positive, it's just the dark clouds of COIVD are potentially moving over to the UK and no one knowns what impact that will have on Retail
Once we get through the Winter the outlook should improve and TED position should also improve - it's a long term hold - Gook Luck and DYOR ;-)
is it being walked down to get snapped up on the cheap?
Why fall so much!
